Yuan Gang had some doubts.

Shouldn't the Wu family be united at this time?

Even if Wu Chengjiang had ulterior motives, he wouldn't kill Wu Yue in the current situation where things are still far from certain. Doing so would be no different from tearing down his own house.

Chen Huo said calmly, "That depends on how Wu Chengze and Wu Yue view this matter."

Wu Chengjiang certainly wouldn't take action immediately.

But what if Wu Chengze and Wu Yue take some action and start putting pressure on him?

Yuan Gang, being an old and shrewd man, understood Chen Huo's meaning.

But his brow remained furrowed.

"How do we get Wu Yue and Wu Chengze moving?"

"They can move on their own."

Chen Huo said.

Judging from Wu Chengze's previous bloody purge of the collateral branches of the Wu family, this person has an extreme desire for power and a strong desire for control. How could he be willing to watch Wu Chengjiang lose control?

If he makes any move, Wu Chengze will retaliate.

After pondering for a long time, Yuan Gang finally understood Chen Huo's meaning.

He exclaimed sincerely, "Brother Chen, you're even more cunning than an old fox!"

Chen Huo shook his head, feeling no happiness whatsoever.

Using such a method that wouldn't show results in the short term wasn't really in line with his personality, but he couldn't fight against the Wu family right now, even if he dragged the entire Goddess Pavilion into it.

But this is the only method we can use.

Ultimately, it comes down to their lack of ability.

After thinking it over and over, Chen Huo felt uneasy.

That's too slow!

Yu Ji listened to the whole thing from the side. Seeing that he was frowning and in a bad mood, she comforted him, "Young Master, it's alright. We have plenty of noble families to play with."

Gu Yingxue chuckled and said, "Young Master, you should be content. The entire Wu family is being led by the nose by you, and every family head is begging you. You're already very capable."

"That's right, young master, you can just wait for the results."

"That's right, Wu Chengze will definitely start fighting with Wu Chengjiang soon."

Let's fight.

Upon hearing this, Chen Huo had a sudden inspiration and came up with a new idea.

Why wait for them to start fighting?

Why not just give it a push yourself?

The reason why Wu Yue's pretense of being in a vegetative state was not exposed before was because Chen Huo wanted to protect Zhang Xinglin, his informant. Now that Wu Chengjiang has come to him, he can completely let him take the blame.

Wu Chengze was sidelined by Wu Chengjiang and wanted to truly control the Wu family. He had every motive to leak the news that Wu Yue was still alive, and whoever it was, he would be the first suspect.

It would be a good thing to kill Wu Chengjiang.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Chen Huo's lips.

……

An hour later.

The ancient martial arts world was in an uproar.

Because they received a message.

Wu Yue has recovered long ago!

The person in a vegetative state is faking it!

They firmly believed this.

Chen Huo had just issued a bounty: whoever could kill Wu Yue could receive three Body Tempering Pills and three Battle Soul Pills from him.

Now that Wu Chengjiang is in control of the Wu family, Wu Chengze is confined to the villa where Wu Hao lives, and Wu Yue is feigning illness, he is the first member of the Wu family to receive the news.

He was stunned for a moment.

What is the meaning behind Chen Huo's sudden stunt?

A few seconds later, cold sweat broke out on Wu Chengjiang's forehead.

"Chen Huo is trying to kill me!"

Why did Wu Yue's feigned vegetative state have to be revealed now, right after his visit to Chen Huo? What will Wu Chengze think when he finds out? What will Wu Hao think?

He was on his way to the Wu family's house at that moment.

Hearing this news, I was afraid to go home.

He immediately took out his phone and called Chen Huo. After the call was connected, he started recording the call, hoping to get information out of Chen Huo in order to deal with future questions from Wu Hao and Wu Chengze.

"Chen Huo, did you post the bounty?"

"Nonsense, who else could it be but me?"

"How do you know Wu Yue is better, or is she just pretending to be in a vegetative state?"

"I guessed. Don't worry, this has nothing to do with you."

Chen Huo said in a very serious tone.

Upon hearing this, Wu Chengjiang could no longer remain calm.

"Chen Huo, what do you mean by that? What do you mean it has nothing to do with me? This matter has nothing to do with me in the first place!"

"Yes, that's right, it really has nothing to do with you."

"No... it's you..."

Wu Chengjiang was at a loss for words. Chen Huo's obvious emphasis that it had nothing to do with him would make anyone think the opposite of what he meant.

It gives the impression of someone trying to hide something obvious.

Giving this recording to Wu Hao would be harming myself.

"Chen Huo, I came with sincerity, and you're just trying to cheat me like this?" Wu Chengjiang said through gritted teeth.

"Are you sick in the head? I've already said it has nothing to do with you, what are you afraid of?" Chen Huo cursed, his words full of disdain.

Upon hearing this, Wu Chengjiang nearly fainted from anger.

What does this have to do with admitting that he was the one who leaked the information?

"Damn it!"

"Chen Huo is such a treacherous fellow!"

"Who was the bastard who said he was arrogant, reckless, and lacked strategy?"

"This is deadly!"

Wu Chengjiang lost control of his emotions and started shouting.

He noticed that his two attendants were looking at him with suspicion.

This made him feel even more guilty.

Just then, his phone rang.

I only glanced at the number, and my heart sank.

This number hasn't rung for over ten years.

It belongs to Wu Hao.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Wu Chengjiang tried his best to remain composed as he answered the phone.

"Father, what made you decide to call me?"

"Uh... Patriarch, this is Jingchuan. My grandfather asked me to use his phone to call you and tell you to come home immediately. He said he has something to ask you in person."

"Okay, got it."

Wu Chengjiang had no intention of dwelling on the fact that he had called Wu Jingchuan, who was a generation younger than him, "father."

His mind raced as he considered how to clear his name after returning to the Wu family.

the other side.

The Wu family.

Wu Hao's room.

The room remained dark, and Wu Hao was still hidden in the shadows. There were four people in the room: Wu Chengze, Wu Yi'an, Wu Jingchuan, and Zhang Xinglin.

Although it was a summer night, the room was freezing cold.

The chill mostly came from Wu Hao, who was deep in the darkness.

Another portion came from Wu Chengze.

"Zhang Xinglin, did you do it? Don't deny it, who else could it be but you?" Wu Chengze said through gritted teeth. If Wu Hao hadn't been there, he would have loved to slap Zhang Xinglin half to death.

He felt that Zhang Xinglin was the one who actually leaked the information.

After all, he's an outsider.

The possibility of Wu Chengze is very small.

At this moment, Zhang Xinglin was cursing Chen Huo to the core. He wasn't sure if Wu Chengjiang had leaked the information, but he understood Chen Huo's intention: to make him pin the blame on Wu Chengjiang.

Having lived cautiously in the Wu family for so many years, Zhang Xinglin possessed extraordinary mental fortitude and was naturally quite skilled at acting; his face instantly filled with anger and resentment.

"What benefit would I get from doing this?!"

"Are you waiting for me to kill my whole family?!"

Am I the only one who knows about this?
